Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

fast food as a whole is just baffling to me at this point, especially since frozen meals that taste good and are of perfectly decent quality exist.
Why the fuck would i spend at least 8€ on a burger meal when i could buy literally a fucking kilogram of food for that same price? And it's not like fast food is faster, that 1kg bag of hash takes 10 minutes in a skillet, even with mcdonald's being 500 fucking meters from my house it's faster and more convenient for me to just cook the hash than it is to travel to mcdonalds, wait for the food, and take it back home (which is annoying anyways and means the food will have gone slightly cold).
And no, cleaning the dishes isn't some ardous task, get one of those sponges with a hollow handle you fill with soap, it takes 30 seconds to rub down the skillet, plate, and cutlery and it's not even remotely messy.
